Will I have enough TIME?

My ex-LF members and I drove down to Malacca on Labour Day yesterday. Not for a holiday, but to spend some time with Lavender and her family. Her dad passed away on Saturday morning after an unsuccessful operation. It was shocking news... just about a few weeks ago, he had a fall. First, the bone specialist thought that the little buldge at his spine was caused by the fall and he underwent bone theraphy. A week later, after consulting another specialist, they realized that he had colon cancer. And now... he's gone.

As I was at the funeral, I was reminded that our life here on Earth is so short. A perfectly healthy man, in less than a month has returned to his Maker. Praise God, her whole family is already saved. But as I pondered over the salvation of my whole family, sighh... at this time, I just wanna trust God's promise that my entire household WILL BE SAVED. I really cannot imagine life in Heaven for eternity without the people that I love.

These days, I thank God that there is a change in climate within the family. Previously, with mum saying things like, "Don't tell me anything about God!!" to "Mother's day is coming soon. Anything special happening in church?". These recent years, they've been more open and actually have started to ask mind-boggling questions like,

• If God is good... and God created Earth. Why are there so many bad things happening in the world?
• I believe that I am a good person, I don't rape, I don't rob, I don't steal. I believe I deserve to go to Heaven. Don't ya think?
• I work hard for the money I have lehhh.... the church is out to gain from its people. Be it power, money, or recognition. So howwwww?

Well, the question and answer sessions have gone on well. Bless the Holy Spirit for the help *smile* I can sense that they're receptive and enjoy the conversations. But yesterday, as I sat through the funeral... I wonder if the progress is happening too slowly. Will I have enough TIME? I understand all is accomplished in His timing. But I can't help myself but worry a little.
